It’s imperative children find their own feet in the world and I’m becoming increasing convinced the new world order leaves them less and less space to do so.
Im depressed and angry Patch#
Your daughter is clearly going through a difficult patch and that’s hard to witness, let alone negotiate.
Our ability to communicate calmly has virtually gone.
We’ve arranged private counselling, but it hasn’t started yet. I’ve told myself to be her “rock” while she adjusts to my husband being here, but it’s increasingly difficult because she’s pushing me, becoming quite vile at times. Otherwise she sits in her darkened room watching television. Her room is a mess, she doesn’t do any washing and the only time she “comes to life” is when she ’s out drinking with friends. She’s now working in an office job which she doesn’t enjoy. She never attended the counselling sessions we signed up for when she returned. She went to university last year, but became anxious and depressed, and dropped out. He’s clear it’s not necessary for him to “parent” my daughter and we’re both happy with that. It’s been an adjustment, but my husband and I are settling into life together well. She confides in me and I make sure I’m always there for her. I raised her alone (her father was an alcoholic) and from day one was determined we’d be close.
The dilemma My relationship with my 19-year-old daughter is at breaking point and I’m afraid I’m going to lose her.
